“I thank the President and Secretary (Herminio) Coloma for not quickly passing judgment based on the complaint alone and for affording me the right to due process. I will answer the complaint filed against me as soon as I receive a copy from Malacañang.”

“The ERC will not be drawn into any name calling, hasty and emotional statements, as we do not seek publicity nor self-serving positions or aspirations, unlike some detractors who are using this issue for self aggrandizement,” dagdag pa nito.
